Artificial intelligence-based peptide structure prediction methods have revolutionized biomolecular science. However, restricting predictions to peptides composed solely of 20 natural amino acids significantly limits their practical application, as such peptides often demonstrate poor stability under physiological conditions. Here, we present NCPepFold, a computational approach that can utilize a specific cyclic position matrix to directly predict the structure of cyclic peptides with non-canonical amino acids. By integrating multi-granularity information at the residue- and atomic-level, along with fine-tuning techniques, NCPepFold significantly improves prediction accuracy, with the average peptide RMSD for cyclic peptides being 1.640 [A]. In summary, this is a novel deep learning model designed specifically for cyclic peptides with non-canonical amino acids without length restrictions, offering great potential for peptide drug design and advancing biomedical research.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
